Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)
- $1,250,000 Settlement | Wrongful Death & Auto Accident — Represented by attorneys Alex Riddle and Gene Riddle, our client was killed in an auto accident. His next of kin included 3 adult children. Shortly after the tragic fatal wreck, his children were referred to our firm by an out-of-state attorney. We monitored the misdemeanor death charges filed against the at-fault driver to make sure justice was served in the criminal part of this case. We also hired experts to help prove liability. The at-fault driver only had $30,000 in in insurance coverage. We investigated all available insurance coverages and located 4 policies totaling $1,250,000. We were able to conclude the resolution in approximately 7 months following the date of the wreck, which is a very quick resolution in a death case., 2025
- $1,040,000 Settlement | Wrongful Death — Attorneys Alex Riddle, Gene Riddle, and Darren Dawson settled a wrongful death claim for the maximum amount of available coverage. The case was personally referred to Alex Riddle. Our client was not married but was survived by three adult children as heirs. He was killed in an auto accident when the defendant crossed the center line and hit him in a head-on collision. Through our investigation of the accident, our attorneys discovered multiple insurance policies which we determined provided coverage. We hired an accident reconstructionist to assist in preserving evidence regarding liability. Once liability was established, we focused on convincing multiple insurance companies to tender their policy limits. As usual, the carriers fought liability and coverage, but through negotiations, we were able to win coverage on all policies and provide his three children with compensation and some form of closure. We recognize that money never replaces the loss of a loved family member. , 2025
- $490,000 Settlement | Lyft Accident — Our client, who was in her twenties, was taking a Lyft to work when the Lyft driver made an unexpected turn in front of another vehicle, causing a serious collision. As a result, our client suffered a fractured pelvis and was unable to work for six months. The physical injury and significant disruption to her life led to a claim for personal injury, seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Attorney Alex Riddle handled the case, diligently pursuing the best possible outcome for our client. Through careful negotiation, the case was settled for $490,000, providing our client with the financial support she needed to recover and move forward after the accident, 2025
- $178,500 Settlement | Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress — Represented by attorneys Alex Riddle and Darren Dawson, our client was deeply impacted after witnessing a family member’s tragic death in a serious auto accident. The emotional distress caused by this traumatic event led to a claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress, which doesn’t include damages for physical injury. This claim is based solely on emotional injuries. After filing suit, attorneys Riddle and Dawson engaged in settlement negotiations that resulted in a favorable resolution for our client. The case was settled for $178,500, compensating our client for the emotional pain and suffering endured as a result of witnessing this traumatic accident., 2025
